Despite some display issues with the larger Pixel 2 XL, it would appear that Google's second attempt at developing its own range of phones has been more successful than the first, with around 3.9 million units reportedly being shipped in 2017.

For starters, Google only sells Pixel phones in six to eight countries, depending on the model, so Google is not the slightest bit competitive in the worldwide market. If you recall, the IDC staffer recently revealed that Andy Rubin's start-up, Essential, shipped fewer than 90,000 phones in its first six months after launch. Lastly, Google Pixel smartphones are only available through Verizon, while the iPhone models are available in all carriers.

To really drive home how puny Pixel sales were: It only took Apple 6.5 days and Samsung 4.4 days to sell the same number of phones.

The third reason is that Google doesn't have a strong retail presence. That's not a massive number, but it shows great growth for the company's lineup. Apple also has deals with all the major carriers in the United States, putting iPhones in even more retail locations with even more salespeople.

Look, I get it, the Pixel's still the new guy on the block.

Why Can't Google Pixel Catch Up To The iPhone?

In comparison, the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus sold 20 million devices in around four months a year ago. TrendForce expects its sales to jump more than 70% this year to surpass 20 million units. Lower-end phones lead to more sales, and Samsung matches yearly Pixel shipments every 3.5 days.
